I have one in my Olfa cutter now and I am very pleased at it's performance.

I found several pkgs at harbour freight and now they are out of stock. They will call when they get more in...get a rain check. I use them and figure that there are only so many places to make them that they are just as good. I know that Heinz in Muscatine Iowa makes Heinz catsup and soups...but they also put different store brand labels on the same cans!! They also do the same (in Muscatine) with cat foods and other products that come from that plant.

I use mine all the time. Here in Rochester they went up to 1.99 for two blades. Still a good price.

The biggest upside is that I don't hesitate to change blades the way I did when they were several $$ apiece!

I like them just as well as the more expensive ones. No problems at all.
Just an FYI though, the blades fit the 45 mm cutter and not the 60 mm.
